As a direct ancestor of iRacing, the ‘Grand Prix Legends engine’ had multiple stock car racing false starts, before eventually releasing as NASCAR Racing 4. The original NASCAR 3, cancelled and replaced by one that used NASCAR 2’s engine, is barely remembered.
Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland, Ohio, United States has been used by IndyCar since July 4, 1982. A fully functioning airport the rest of the year and shut down for the event, the race was very popular amongst fans, as the long, wide, runways allowed for side-by-side racing, fast speeds, and superb passing zones around the entire track.
First seen in sim racing with IndyCar Racing (1993).

This is such a disappointing trend. As an archivist, someone who wants people to be able to play every sim from every developer from every decade, it makes me extremely sad to see any software removed from sale. I fully understand that some licenses may have been expiring, but I’d absolutely have preferred anything other than this to happen… What a shame.
